Mrs. Margaret Ferren, one of the old
est and most respected pioneer residents
of this county, died at her home in st.
Clairsville, Oh last Friday evening. She
had been a feeble health for some time,
and Just after noon On Friday, while
about her home, fell upon the floor AL
though she was taken i'll, it was not
thought it would result fatally, and her
death was a sndden shock to relatives
and friends. Mrs. Ferren was born at
Brownsville, Fayette county, Pa, April
| 27, 1911, and when but year old, with
her parents came to Belmont county,
where she has resided ever since-an
active and useful member of society
For 35 years she was member of the
NJ E. church. In 1885, she was mar
ried to James Ferren, who died 25 years
ago. She was the mother Of ten chill
dren, four of whom survive, to-wit:
John and James Felren, of this place,
Mrs w. W. Obaugh, of Columbus, and
Mrs ]. P. Hall, of st. Clairsville, all of
whom were present at her funeral, which
occurred On Sabbath afternoon. The
immediate friends of the deceased have
the heartfelt sympathy of many friends
in the loss of kind parent. Interment
at the NJ. E. cemetery, services conduct

The Modern Cook Book Dinner.

The modern recipes for making cheap
dishes are framed upon the supposition
that you are to obtain the materials of
manufacture for nothing. They should
be written in this form: Go to the market
and beg a beef bone from the butcher;
steal couple of parsnips and half a
dozen of potatoes out of the peddler's
cart; get your grocer to trust you for
half pound of rice; borrow from your
neighbor a cupful of flour; from another
neighbor a bod of coal; put your bone
into a quart of water and let it stew
slowly; slice your potatoes and parsnips;
get an onion somewhere and slice it also;
put these in with the bone; stew two
hours and add your flour; simmer twenty
minutes and serve. This dinner viii sup
ply a father and mother and twelve chill
dren, and there will be enough left to feed
four tramps. Cost, one-hundredth part
of cent for match to start fire. Who
would be poor?- Boston Courier.

EvidentIy an E1aggeration.

Among the begging letters recently re-

widow who died childless, and his earn
ings maintain his aged father and infant
brothers, whose sole support he is" The
secretary of the bureau wrote on the
margin of the epistle the following note:

The Demand for Christmas Cards.

CT lost big money on Christmas and
New Years cards. said a dealer on
Broadway to a reporter. 1.-THE demand
does not seem to exist for them as in
years gone by The rising generation is
becoming so Rsthetical it is very hard to
cater to their dilettanteism. They seem
to suffer, as it were, from the safety of
over refinement and culture; hence the
utter impossibility to please them. I i'm
ported a lot of cards from England.
thought they would be admired and be-
come popular. Well, I am out several
thousand dollars and have been taught a
lesson. 1 had some cards hand painted,
and they were really works of art.
GA young man sauntered in few days
before Christmas and asked to see some
hand painted cards. l showed him some
hand painted ones, and this is how he
questioned me: Yes, you say they are
hand painted2' Yes, at a great expense, }
replied. who was the artists? he asked,
putting an eyeglass to his left eye and
looking first at me and then at the card.
well, several artists who are skilled in
that special kind of work You don't
say; not Bouguereau, Gerome, Munkacsy
or any of those chaps, eh?' No, the artist
was an ass, 1 replied holly, as the young
man, smiling blandly at my anger, de
parted. He is but sample of many
others. Presents this Christmas mostly
consisted of rare books or articles of vertu.
The cheap cards and the expensive cards
were purchased generally by the very
young misses and boys. In future the
designs of Christmas and New Years
cards will have to be made especially to
suit the taste of the very youthful The
young men have advanced so rapidly they
require something that is on a higher art
plan than the usual Christmas cards

Hon. r. b. Wheeler, has been prom
inent in the history of Texas, and s.
short biography will be of public i'll
terest. and the HERALD trusts some
good, in that it suggests to the youth
even in the humblcst position that
honor, educetion and competency are
offered to every boy who will diligent-
ly and studiousiy strive forit At the
age of five years young Wheeler lost
his father, and became the male DEEPEN
dence and protector of his mothers
family. Came to Texas i'll 1854, set
tied in Hayes county, where as labor
or he delved and strived to support
his mother and educate himself. To
his country's call he gave several years
in the Confedcracy. At the close OF
the civil struggle, he engaged in teach
ing and the law study, contending all
along with the disadvantages and dis
couragements of poverty. Licensed
to practice law in 1866, he was elected
county attorney of Travis county and
the same year removed at the point OF
Federal General Reynolds bayoncts,
as an "impediment to reconstruction
In 1872 Mr.. Wheeler was elected
mayor OF Austin, as the Democratic
nominee: and during the exciting days
of the Davis regime, Mayor Wheeler
displayed great courage, iirmness and
yet diplomacy which often served to
avert impending riot and blood-shed.
In 1877 he resigned and moved to
Stephens county, where he was elected
District Judge, and was reelected
from Eastlaud county, where he lived
when nominated by the Democracy
and elected Lieutenant Governor.
Judge Wheeler is one of the most
polished gentlemen, an able jurist and
consistent Baptist.
